A blogger’s tip when covering mommy events

You might want to bear these *tips in mind when covering mommy events:

  1. Make sure to take photos of all the speakers and presenters in the event
  2. Capturing 2 or 3 slides from audio-visual presentation will also prove beneficial
  3. Take a photo of the attendees would also seem like a practical thing to do. Of course, it will be hard to round up all the participants in a single photo, so you can also do this in small groups
  4. You can also take videos of presentations, especially if it involves cooking or other product demonstration.
  5. Capturing candid mommy/child moment of the participants will also be a good idea.

Baptism invitation card

I found my son’s baptism invitation card in my photo box while I was looking for an old picture of mine. The invitation was one of the unsent baptism cards that were hidden somewhere. The cards were supposed to be given to some of our friends at the office, but hubby and I decided to keep the guest list limited to our relatives and few neighbor friends. We never bother to check baptism invitations from invitationbox.com for elaborate invitation designs because we only have a few visitors to give them to. Instead of sending them an invitation, we call or ask them personally.

Christmas party with bloggers

I made it to the first Christmas party for bloggers yesterday. I wasn’t supposed to attend because I don’t have a cowboy costume. The group suggested for cowboy attire complete with boots and hat. I thought finding special occasion dresses is a lot easier than looking for cowboy outfit. It turned out that one can buy the whole cowboy get up from ukay-ukay or thrift stores. Some of the attendees got their killer boots and branded hats from the thrift shop.

CHRISTMAS-PARTY

with fellow bloggers

I didn’t bother to look for boots or hats though. Peh provided my hat and I came with my usual attire – flat shoes, jeans and checkered polo which I borrowed from my husband.

Although there were a handful of mommy bloggers who made it to the event, the occasion turned out to be a big success. It was fun and no one left the venue without carrying a loot bag or two and prizes from sponsors. I think another event is in the offing according to Joy who is the party organizer and host.

I hope more mommies will get invited next time. 🙂
